5-10 second page loads Magento 2.0 (clean install, no demo content)

Is it typical to deal with 5-10 second pages loads when caching for the site is turned off?

Developing the site with the caches on makes working almost impossible since you never see the changes you make due to aggressive caching.

We've confirmed with Inmotion Tech support that our VPS -1000 server has virtually no load and all systems are nominal.

Hello,

Thanks for your question regarding the load time of Magento 2.0. So, yes, Magento page load times can be quite high without caching and compilation on. However, its necessary to turn those off during development. I wouldn't be too worried at this stage in your development process. Once the site is built with products and categories, you can turn caching and compilation back on and check the load times. At that point, you can look at tuning the server to better meet your needs. Until it's almost to the point of being production worthy, I wouldn't be too concerned. Let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks!
